About this practice
“In 2011 I had bilateral mastectomies secondary to breast cancer.”
What patients say again and again
“Van Pelt 'fixed' me beyond my expectations -- I'm thrilled with the results.”
From the reviews
In 2011 I had bilateral mastectomies secondary to breast cancer. Although my surgeon at the time was highly recommended, I was not happy with the results but did not know if it could be much better.
Dr. Van Pelt, is a well educated woman, surgical skills like no one else. For me, I had breast cancer and had two surgeons that were well known that just did not treat me with care that a woman who has to live with her body after a double massectomy should be treated.
Dr. Van Pelt and her staff are amazing! From my first consultation visit, surgery day, to the post-surgery visit, everyone involved was incredible. I felt so cared for, as a person, not just another patient number. Dr. Van Pelt 'fixed' me beyond my expectations -- I'm thrilled with the results.
Dr Van Pelt was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout my entire reconstruction process. Her calm demeanor and focus on safety and precision, as well as individual treatment were a great fit for me during a difficult time. I can’t recommend her highly enough!
Researching a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is major surgery with real risks and a recovery that usually runs several weeks — this page is a starting point for finding a surgeon, not medical advice. The most useful next step is a consultation, where a surgeon reviews your health history, examines you, talks through your options, and gives a personal quote. Bring questions and don't rush the decision.
Questions worth asking: Are you board-certified in plastic surgery (and can I verify it)? Where would you operate, and is the facility accredited? Can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients? What are the risks and the realistic recovery timeline for me? What's your revision policy if something needs adjusting? Whatever a listing says, always verify certification directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) at abplasticsurgery.org, and discuss your candidacy, risks, and recovery with the surgeon.
